Hyper Light Drifter – Macintosh

Hyper Light Drifter is an upcoming 2D action role-playing game developed by Heart Machine, due to be released in 2015. The game is an homage to 8-bit and 16-bit games of the late 20th century, and is considered a combination of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Diablo. Alex Preston, an animator and lead developer for the title, originally launched Kickstarter funding for the title for approximately $27,000 to develop the title for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux computers, but ended up with more than $600,000, allowing him to hire more programmers and artists, and expanding the title for console and portable platforms through stretch goals.
